AT THE THEATRE.
"Erou Erou." by the Lillian Lewis
C0mpany---Tenight The Creole

"Frou Frou." by the Lillian Lewis
C0mpany---Tenight The Creole
Again,
At Harper's theatre last evening Miss
Lillian Lewis was greeted by another
large audience. "Frou Frou,' as given
BY Miss Lewis and her company is vastly
different from THE Creole and Ca
MILE" and the .'GIlberte" OF this famous
actress, attests well the fact that she is a
thorough student of the stage, and as
competant in the lighter and more I'M
pulsive roles as she is in the more pass
sionate and tragic representations. At
the start 'Frou Frou" is amusing-full
of fun, but as the play developes, and
new situations are introduced, estrange-
ment, redress and finally death follows.
Like the other pieces in Miss Lewis res
pertoire, it has most excellent moral
teaching, which the talented actress
is capable of illustrating impress sively
and forcibly.
The supporting characters were all well
assigned, the company appearing to most
excellent advantage. The special honors
were awarded to Mr. Owen, Mr. Dempsey
Mr.. Saunders, MI. Stephens and Miss
Inman. The stage setting was rich, the
venetian interior being the most elabo-
rate we have ever seen IN Harper's thea
tire. The costumes worn by Miss Lewis
were costly and magnificent, the silk
plush which was made by the Misses
Dolan of this city, especially for this
piece. being particularly attractive.
Tonight Miss Lewis appears again in
the character which has made her famous -
thatof Cora, the Creole. thus affordng
second opportunity to wit ness this grand
performance, AMI many will doubtless
avail the mselves of it,

White cloth braided in gold and soft nuns
gray braided in black or silver are pretty
fashions in walstcOats Just now. Sometimes
there are double waisteoats, the outer one la
velvet, the inner one in white. Or, again,
the waistcoat Is cut exactly like the front OF
abodice and covered with a network Of beads
shaped to simulate vest. There Is plenty
OF room for ingenuity in the trimming Of this
particular portion Of dress, as small remnants
OF silk and velvet will find easy application
and.these may be wonderfully improved by
the addition OF needlework in the shape OF
braiding, embroidery and beading. Moreover
a costame may be supplied with a number of
walstcoats TO one jacket which will give va
riety at small expense. Tho same costume
worn with crimson velvet vest hardly looks
the same when combined with gold-embroid-
cred white cloth. The former will be best
suited to dull gray day, the latter to a SUD
ny one. Another and very different sort of
waistcoat shows soft folds of silky fabric,
crossed over the chest, and combined at the
waist by velvet girdle or silk belt laid in
horizontal folds and held by jewelled
buckle. In appearance II is ichu, similar
to those worn in the peasant costumes Of
many OF the French provinces, but in reality
1t double breasted bodice, on which the
folds are firmly sewn fchu-wise, 1t being well
to leave nothing to chance. Our maid OF
matron prefers tohaye her dressmaking done
for her, and not to have to pin and pleat her
clothes herself each time as she puts them on
Bodices laced at the back are again in
vogue. A Jewelled clasp or diamond orna-
ment is nowifrsquently placed at the top of
thecorsage where the lacing begins. Velvet
DOdlces are cut out square or V-shaped at the
back for evening dress. The lacing then be-
gins at about the middle Of the back. Sleeve
less bodices, with long gloves covering the
arms to just below the shoulders, will again
prevail. Golden tan, apricot, pale corn color
pearl and mauve are favorita shades In even
ing gloves. Previous to lacing bodces they
should be fastened with half dozen strong
hooks. This takes the stress off the lacing
and spares many an untidy curve not az all

The famous floating island of the Der
wentwater, England, has come to the sur
face again after long disappearance. This
is mass of decaying vegetation forming a
layer of peat, on top Of which is a thin COW
eriug of clay bound together by the roots Of
vegetation. 1t rests on the clay bottom of
the lake, but sometimes some force. sup
posed to be in the gas generated by the de
caying matter, causes it to rise to the sur
lace. Its extent sometimes reaches half an
acre, and It rises and falls with the water,
until finally it sinks out Of sight again, to be
gone probably for several wears.
